External references
The 1837 Beaded Cords variety refers to the hair cords in Liberty's portrait, which show a beaded or textured appearance on this die. The standard dies use plain, smooth cords. The beaded texture is a die-specific feature and is identifiable on coins where enough hair detail survives to examine the cord treatment.
The Beaded Cords variety is one of the more distinctive die characteristics in the late Coronet Head series and is popular among variety collectors. The feature gives the coin a slightly different visual character than the Plain Cords versions.
